Förby Marina

Karl Forsström Ab is a family-owned company whose services make living and spending time in the wonderful archipelago even easier. Founded in 1882, the Finnish family business has its roots in lime mining and lime processing.

Förby Marina in Särkisalo is located in the Finnish Archipelago Sea, in a popular summer holidaying area. It is easy to steer boats along the nearby route in the direction of Taalintehdas or Hanko, or towards the inner archipelago. The area’s excellent fishing waters have a wide variety of fish stocks. Next to the harbour is a swimming spot with a sandy beach, swimming pier and diving platform.
